A Midweek Cycle Pt1- Low tide cycle; Aberlady Point to Greencraig Island
A big sky day again after work as i headed down to Aberlady Point to cycle around the coast at low tide to Greencraig Island below Kilspindie,
I walked around here the other day with Jake dog at mid tide so was keen to return again at a good low tide as been a while since i cycled along the coast here, and there is a lot more sand here now allowing to cycle the entire lenght from the point west along to Green Craig starting beside the old carts in the mud, to Green Craig...
The Crab Isle, mostly covered with sand this now, used to find huge crabs in the rock pools here as a kid...
Inland across the sands and up onto Green Craig island...
Big Sky day...
Here is a wee film, Song is `The 5th Exotic` by Quantic

Saturday Big Sky Day...
Back to the day shift and another Saturday of sunshine on the east coast...
I headed down to North Berwick and a ride west along the coast to Gullane, a midday high tide not ideal but still loads of riding choices here on the multiple choice of routes above the high tide line...
Broadsands beach and quiet this now, will be mobbed with day visitors by midday...
West along to Gullane and sandy single track trails most of the way...
Freshwaterhaven beach deserted...
From Gullane sands i climbed up Gullane Hill and soaked up the views over the Forth Estuary...
Two films today, first a film along to Gullane,
Song is `True Grit` by The Crystal Method

Stopped at M`s for a cuppa before cycling home on the John Muir Way,
Can really smell the Garlic here in the woods descending from Dirleton on the more fun alternative trail to Yellowcraigs...
Along to NB and calm water enjoyed by visitors to NB today...
More soon...
